  • Single Alloy wheel

    Postby S2000 » Mon Mar 26, 2012 4:31 pm

    A colleague has a problem with one alloy on his mk4 Gti Turbo

    The inside has become badly corroded and the result is a slowly deflating tyre.

    so a) does anyone have one spare mk4 golf gti turbo alloy (16 inch, star shape with a split down each spoke)

    or

    b) does anyone know someone who could refurb?

    Cheers

    I *think* it's been mentioned on here that Panel Craft can refurb alloys.

    most tyre garages should be able to clean up the inner rim edge and seal it for you!!
